Artificial?
Google - Allulose, a monosaccharide also known as psicose, is a rare sugar. It's found naturally in dried fruits like jackfruit, figs and raisins, but only in small quantities which makes it difficult to extract from its original source.
This product is a blend of different sweeteners, it's not just straight erythritol. Some people prefer blends of certain sweeteners because they like the taste, it doesn't have the cooling effect that erythritol has, etc.

This is correct. Not sure where all the other FUD is coming from.

Tempted to try this for the price since I usually buy swerve but that's cost double the price. I'd mainly use this to sweeten protein ice cream, mugcakes. That 4 pounds of erythritol seems like a slightly better value but it'll take me forever to finish. I'd rather have smaller size pouches that I can keep fresh and open when needed
Same here! Made a gallon of iced lemon tea with about a cup of allulose. Had 3 or 4 glasses and basically spent the next 6 hours in my porcelain office. Let's just say that pedialyte was my best friend.
Same when i used monkfruit! Ill stick to baking with these
In my opinion, the King Arthur sweetener is fine for some baking, but don't expect it to taste like Swerve. The King Arthur product has a strong vanilla-like taste and odor that you immediately notice when you open the bag. I kept it for baking, but didn't like it in coffee or sprinkled over things like strawberries, etc.
If you are looking for a cheaper Swerve alternative, many grocery stores now have their own store-brand knock-off. In my area, Kroger and Meijer each have one that tastes very similar to Swerve. They are both labeled as Erythritol but have the same ingredients as Swerve.
Soluble corn fiber is going to register a glycemic response in a lot of people. All the "0 carb" soluble fibers are like that. But if all you want to do is cut calories some then this will work. But diabetics and keto dieters should mostly avoid.

DO IT.
Swerve is just erythritol, inulin, and some trade secret sauce they're somehow allowed to get away with w/o having to actually list it.
Edit: and yes, read what the poster above me wrote. Forgot bout the corn fiber. Allulose seems to be a great alternative to erythritol so far (based on the limited research we have and lack of longitudinal studies), but the cheapest I've gotten it at is DOUBLE this price.

I know the taste is something subjective, but I've found the taste of this sugar alternative pretty nice.

I prefer this to all other sugar substitutes. It is not as sweet as others, but it does not have the cold aftertaste of others. Made some ridiculous chocolate chip cookies last night.
I think the secret to a good low-cal sweetener is a blend of several - it seems any one individually tends to have a sharp cutoff with a bitterness.

A Comprehensive Guide to the 4 Best Natural Sweeteners
Allulose
Monk Fruit
Stevia
Erythritol
All four are in that. So I don't see anything wrong with it.
